What is Your Favorite Book?

[Thunderhorse31]

The Bible, but since that's probably not a legitimate answer here, 1984.

 

[G1eet]

Angels and Demons, probably.

Have you read Lost Symbol yet?

On topic... a tie between American Gods and Watchmen, at the moment, since I just finished the latter. I haven't seen the movie, so I'm not one of those trendfags that is all of a sudden going to be spouting Rorschach quotes.

Meanwhile, I thank the gods for movies-on-demand.

Edit:

The Bible, but since that's probably not a legitimate answer here

I should think so. Even taken out of religious context, it is a fairly riveting read, if you're willing to sift though all of that archaic lingo.

There are quite a few I can think of, but I really can't pick a single one. It's quite a hard choice, almost the same problem I have with movies, it's having so many from so many genres to choose from.

I'm going to go with the Dirk Pitt Series of novels by Clive Cussler, they have provided me with many an hour of entertainment and intrigue.

Ahh, I had forgotten about the antics of Pitt and Giordino. I haven't read the last couple books, because it seemed to me like they've been going down in quality since Atlantis Rising.

yes, I have read the Lost Symbol, and I thought it was quite good, contrary to most reviews.

Hmmm. I did think it was good, but like a mix between Angels & Demons and daVinci Code, in its most literal sense.

It kinda seemed like he toned down on the- I don't think I'd call it "religion bashing", more of an insensitivity. I doubt it was his own decision; his publisher may have had to beat that opinion into him before any vengeful Catholics came knocking at his door.
I don't see what the big problem was; it was a novel, folks. He didn't claim any truth to anything he stated in the book...

That said, I still liked A&D more, and think it's the best of the series thus far.

Enders game.

 

[TheGreatCoolEnergy]

Well currently my Favourite book is The Hobbit by Tolkien. Deffinately his best work.

 

[TheGreatCoolEnergy]

I am reading the Hobbit right now, and it is fantastic! After that I am going to read the whole LOTR trilogy and I am quite excited.

Leven Thumps series is probably my favorite series. But it could soon be LOTR.

Dont get your hopes too high. I found the Hobbit destroyed the rest of the series by a long shot.

 

[tobi the good boy]

The night angel trilogy, its a gripping fantasy that follows a broken anti hero, not recamended for children.
also im currently reading the summoner from the necromancer chronicles

 

[KittywifaMohawk]

My favorite book is Inkheart and my favorite series in the Inkheart trilogy(InkHeart, InkSpell, and InkDeath).
I absolutely love them.
Oh and just incase there are some of those people who have seen the movie, and not read the book.
The book is so much better then the movie.

I don't understand what you mean.

Care to elaborate?

You ever read The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever? The main dude is a total asshole, and in the first book he rapes some girl that helped him willingly. He is a bastard for everyone in a land that only exist good and evil. And that the villain is bat-shit insane..in the good way.

Anyway, hope the folowing books of Rothfuss trilogy get better editing. Name of the Wind could have got one and cut down some pages.

I did, actually.
I almost put it down because of that - I can accept my heroes slaughtering innocents, but rape is not cool, you guys.

I did eventually finish the book, however.
Man, that was years ago, though.

Haha, weak stomach. The world was never real in the first place....or was it?

 

[Valate_v1legacy]

Dune! All the books, too.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Fight Club.
It's awesome in book form.

I liked Invisible Monsters better myself.

For me, it's hard to decide which is the best, but I do have some all time favorites.

Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
Invisible Monsters - Cuchk Palahniuk
The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy - Douglass Adams
The Man Who Was Thursday - G.K. Chesterton
1984 - George Orwell

 

[crudus]

Ninja Burger!! or Hitchhiker's Guide.

 

[King of the N00bs]

His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman...i dont get how the church is offended by that though

 

[CNKFan]

Anything with H.P. Lovecraft on it I tend to enjoy.
